The Lost Souls


In the list that follows most will know of two maybe three of these children from news reports, how many of us know of the rest. I know I didn’t. Before I became involved I had no idea of most of these young souls lost. I suspect my list is not even complete as many of the inquest findings into the deaths are suppressed either by the local authorities involved or by the courts, “in the interests of the child”.
